how to install / create new update-java-alternatives ?
 
Hi,

I have:
update-java-alternatives -l
ia32-java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun
java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
java-gcj-4.6 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj-4.6

I would like to add:
java-7-oracle 59 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle

How can I do it by command ?
(I have found only solution to do it manually by creating file /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle)

thank you,
kind regards,
M.

Adding an entry in /etc/alternatives/ :
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java 4000
(Edit "/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java" to actual path, if different.)

It does not work for me.
I am using update-alternatives --install .../jvm for all "java" commands (doing it by my own oracle java installation script).
It has influence on:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
BUT it does not have influence on
sudo update-java-alternatives -l
